OUTCONN – Block for remote value setting

Block SymbolLicensing group: STANDARD

Function Description
The OUTCONN block enables remote setting of parameter values of other blocks, similar to SETPR, SETPS, SETPA, and others. Its use is particularly suitable in situations requiring a quick response, such as in time-critical tasks.

The sc parameter, which specifies the path to the target parameter, must be given as either a relative path or a task-relative path (see the documentation for the SETPR block). This means the OUTCONN block must be placed within the same task as the target parameter, regardless of their hierarchical levels. For details on formatting the path to the parameter, see the documentation for the SETPR block. Unlike the SETP blocks, the sc parameter cannot be modified during runtime.

The data type of the val input is determined by the type of the connected value. Unlike the SETP blocks, the OUTCONN block does not allow for a one-time setting. The value is set in every execution period.

Warning: Setting the connected input of a remote block may lead to undefined behavior. Similarly, setting a block parameter inside a subsystem when this parameter is set in the subsystem’s mask.

This block does not propagate the signal quality. More information can be found in the 1.4 section.
